Newly released body camera footage shows the moments before Salt Lake City police officers fatally opened fire on a man with a pocketknife outside a convenience store earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The videos, released Monday, show officers confronting 36-year-old Cameron Ammon Cloward on April 2 at about 2:25 a.m. near 875 S. State St. A convenience store employee called 911 earlier reporting that Cloward tried to stab him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a guy over here with a knife trying to stab me from the window,\u201d the caller said, according to released\u00a0911 call audio. He explained the man had told him he wanted cigarettes.<\/p>\n

The caller locked the store\u2019s door and waited for police to arrive, saying the man \u2014 later identified as Cloward \u2014 was outside looking at him.<\/p>\n

Police arrived to find Cloward in the parking lot, holding a pocketknife.<\/p>\n

Video shows\u00a0officers approach the man\u00a0as he walked toward a sidewalk away from the convenience store. He appeared to hold the pocketknife beneath his chin as he entered an adjacent building\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n

Officers commanded Cloward to get on the ground and put the knife down, but he didn\u2019t listen.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t make us do this,\u201d one officer said before calling for a colleague to get a \u201cless-lethal shotgun.\u201d Another officer yelled, \u201cWe will shoot you if you come close. We will f\u2014\u2014 shoot you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cloward can be heard saying, \u201cI don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seconds passed before Cloward began walking back toward the convenience store. He then pivoted to one of the officers, and took about four steps forward before police gunfire rang out and Cloward tumbled to the ground.<\/p>\n

Officers continued firing after he fell, the body camera footage shows. Cloward died at the scene, and no one else was injured, police said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how many shots total the officers fired, although the footage released Monday appears to pick up more than a dozen rounds. In a news release, Salt Lake City police said news organizations and community members \u201cshouldrefrain from attempting to estimate the number of shots fired using sound references.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said outside investigators would determine the total number of shots and may release that information later.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo further information on this case is being released,\u201d the release state. The Police Department declined to make a spokesperson available for interviews.<\/p>\n

The West Jordan Police Department will lead the Salt Lake City police shooting investigation, in accordance with county-wide \u201cofficer-involved critical incident\u201d protocol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
